Summary
Carlos Alcaraz sits atop DraftKings' men's US Open board at +250 after Jannik Sinner withdrew injured, though his price is longer than the +140 he reached immediately after Sinner's exit.
April is the last time Alcaraz played a tour-level singles match, and bookmakers say fitness doubts from his lengthy layoff are keeping him from becoming an overwhelming favorite.
Alexander Zverev is next at +300 after shortening from +450 before Sinner's withdrawal, but sportsbooks say bettors are showing more interest in mid-tier names Arthur Fils and Rafael Jodar at 12-1.
Ben Shelton has improved to +900, while Learner Tien at 60-1 is Caesars' biggest straight-bet liability among American men.
Aryna Sabalenka leads the women's market at +320 ahead of Coco Gauff at +500 and Iga Swiatek at +550, with broad action on U.S. players and Alexandra Eala shortened to 28-1 as Caesars' top women's liability.
